~Good Morning!~



While I was on vacation, the Waltzingmouse stamps won from Moxie Fab arrived at my house.


My husband (who stayed back and wasn't able to come with us this year) teased that he was playing with them~oh the torture!!!

I dreamed that I came home...hugged him and went searching for those stamps, accusing him of losing them.


LOL.


SICK, HUH?!!!


I couldn't wait to dive in and participate at the blog party...thank you, Claire, for your generous prize!





I love the colors in the inspiration photo-I used the teal, orange and white.

Oh how exciting and very funny what your husband said. I forgot that you won. Yea! Love this set, and the card you came up with. I like that you only colored a bit of the stamp in the center. Beautiful Marlena.

YEAHHHH! Nothing better than winning free stamps! Looks like they were meant for you! Love your card - the colors are beautiful! Glad you made it to the party!

Oh, I really like that rooster stamped in blue and it is perfect with that label frame. The border strip is one of my newest fave WM stamps. Your little hits of orange set it all off perfectly. Glad you won some free stamps and were able to put them to use right away!

This is so very lovely, Marlena! The stamping on vellum is fabulous! The details are beautiful!Your descriptions about your new stamps have me giggling. One time my teenage son (who does all the mail check)will run around the house when I receive new stamps in the mail...so I HAD to run around and hunt him (and the stamps in his hands) down!! The scene was hilarious! So glad that you play with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
